1.1 spam filter trouble...

duke

Hi all, loving 1.1

one teeny problem. I'm being spammed about 300 times a day, have always been. When I installed 1.1 I disabled comments...... but they still keep coming?! any ideas?

secondly, i turned them back on but used simple filtering for keywords.... now i still get spam and the 1 legit comment someone wanted to make it wouldn't let her (my mum)

any help would be great, ta

You can use Akismet... Or spamassassin, if you have one configured on your server.
In spams I received on my gallery, there was no way to block spammers using only simple words... I had to count them, and use combination of them...

theblioncor, thanks, i signed up for an akismet number and now the spam has stopped..... however no posts at all can be made %-)

can someone give it a try at http://www.dukegledhill.co.uk (any comment will do, ill delete later)

i get an "Warning: Missing argument 1 for iserror() in (long directory)/akismet.php on line 198" and also even using valid name and email and comment i get the error submitting return

any help?

Someone has fixed this error and it will be in 1.1.1
For now open up class-image.php and make the following change:
Look for
`

$goodMessage = $spamfilter->filterMessage($author, $email, $website, $comment, $this->getFullImage());

`

Change $author to $name
`

$goodMessage = $spamfilter->filterMessage($name, $email, $website, $comment, $this->getFullImage());
